The decals are probably the only bit where two pairs of hands are a good help for alignment,
I used the wet method to give a bit of manipulation - and found that leaving the skirts on the car gives a better visual of correctly positioning the decals.
Once you are happy with the positioning, as you pull away the transfer paper I found it was quite aggressive and would pull the vinyl away in places and leave the odd crinkle and bubble - but don't panic, a small plastic card squeegee corrects all of these to leave a perfect finish, I also went over the decal with a hairdryer afterwards to help speed up the drying process, as I found a couple of spots along the base where it wouldn't adhere to the curves due to being too wet. Patience is the key, I was a complete novice at it, but once you get the first side done, the second side will follow much more quickly!
